The Nickel Quiz #11: About a Girl

The Nickel QuizThere have been so very many songs written about women. Much more than have been written about men. We’ll do an “About a Boy” soon, but in this week’s Nickel Quiz we’re taking the easy way out and giving you lyrics to songs with titles that are first names of women.

As usual, scoring is on the honor system (no Googling):

  • Correct Artist: 1 point
  • Correct Song Title: 1 point
  • Maximum Score: 10 points

  1. Did you leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
  2. Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
  3. I know my mind is made up / So put away your makeup
  4. Don’t you think the time is right for us to find / All the things we thought weren’t proper could be right in time?
  5. Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble

[Difficulty: ♫  /  Easy peasy, fresh and breezy]
